Never See Home Again

Never See Home Again

I watched the news today, there was a man on and here is what he had to say. "The government grounds the Osprey today after another fatal crash". Anotherfatal crash, more lives lost. Another Marine who won't make it home for theholidays, another Marine who will never see home again. Yet here we go aboutour merry way, laughing and celebrating the upcoming Christmas Day. Yet how canI celebrate, when I know that other families are home waiting and praying forthe bodies of their dead to make it home to be laid in the ground, their livesfrozen in time ended on this date. No they wont ever grow old, they wont everretire, they walk on streets of gold now, and God says " They shall mount upwith wings as eagles, they shall run and not grown weary, they shall walk andnot faint." No they don't hurt, they're beyond it now. Though I didnt know themI loved them somehow. They served me, they protected me, and forever gratefulwill I be. To those who died this Monday, who never should have boarded theOsprey that day.
